Well, I guess we have to expose ourselves to more good then. Like maybe say, eventually, moment by moment, collecting quality Landmarks into a folder. So that one day, there is this whole folder of good places, and that would be good enough to remind ourselves of the good rather than the 'always existing anyways' bad? Perhaps, and I know some people maintain lists of mainland spots that they share with others. I like to just go out exploring, though, and just see what I come across. Part of the fun for me is to just be riding along and suddenly come face to face with something breath-taking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOW there are various choices of land impact and prices for "my" house and a bunch of other designs. Just look around the sim. Two of this style available (different land impacts). They are here: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Xenosaur/129/195/63 One has a garage, the other doesn't. I teleported over there, and it is just the style building I want. I hope LL has modern as a new theme. I think I will rent there if LL does not have a modern theme now. Or I will buy one of the creators houses and set it up another place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) I have a serious decorating problem. I'm not good at it, per se... but I enjoy doing it, and we've ended up with WAY too many houses because of it LOL. This one is a tiny house that I tinted pretty heavily (it was all white, except for the floors, door, and trim around the windows) and stuck on a 1024 plot of land with 351 land impact allowed. Although I did deed the land to group, I decided to see what I could do strictly within the inate LI, so everything you see here and in the next post (due to upload limits) hits a grand total of 321 LI. I had way too much fun with this Edited February 23, 2020 by Ajay McDowwll Wrong area for land. Because dim :P 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) The toilet cracks me up -- it has an "air freshener" animation and attaches a can of it to your hand The exterior shot is a bit dark, but I kind of like how it looks this way Edited February 24, 2020 by Ajay McDowwll 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly there's no actual river; there's a swimming pool, and my bad lighting probably made a river appear where there is none. It would have been nice, though It does front onto a Linden Road, though, which doesn't hurt my feelings at all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Well, I got myself a house, same place as Chic. Absolutely not finished, but I think the kitchen is more or less done. I made the blinds myself, they are closed when you look in, and open when you look out. And the texture is set to alpha masking with a cutoff of 120, so there is no alpha clashing. I adore the kitchen modules. I just wish it was high cabinets too. I stacked 2 cupboards over the washer/dryer, placed the 2 Roost elements on each side and a dark prim over. I textured all the wood, so it matches. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you moved in and an old LEA friend of mine on the other side. Fun. One more of this style left but no garage. I am using my garage for a staging area for event stuff which is fun as it is way more RL realistic than a building pad LOL. Meanwhile here is MY kitchen and dining. I have my eye on some arty wall lights at Uber but Uber is full so far. There is tomorrow. HUGE kitchen (no modding) from Trompe Loeil from last winter. Bistro bar and stools mine. Dining set Cain Maven (sold by Kaeri) with Apple Fall plates and centerpiece. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I tend to go more traditional (although I'm not sure what my tiny house style is, exactly), but I love the modern buildings and what both of you (Marianne and Chic) have done with them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I finally made it into Uber cam sim and picked up these lights with selves from N4RS. I sized them down a lot (didn't lower the li :D) and they definitely spruces up my new Xenotaur home. I also made a concrete wall in back with a water feature or two to block a bit of the view. Getting pretty spiffy. The plants don't come with the wall light and shelf. By accident I ended up using a plant from N4RS also. Not really sure where that came from or when I got it. I tinted the pot black to match the furniture. After taking this shot I traded out the rug to one I "made" and got 6 land impact back (a good deal). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You found a matching texture for the concrete wall, or did you use a totally different texture as a contrast? I had to buy the fireplace after I first saw it 2 days ago in your house. Not sure where I'll put it up. It was tempting to rush and buy the kitchen, but I resisted the temptation. It is nice to have room for a large kitchen, I must say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice to have room for a large kitchen, I must say. I haven't retextured any walls except for behind the kitchen sink (now dark gray brick) as it was just too much WHITE in there. I did make a concrete fence out back but just used a similar texture. you could "maybe" take a screenshot of the wall and make your own texture. I did that with the roof on the Belli houses long ago and it worked well. And yes, I use that fireplace often. It is in my Belli house too. Little space - low land impact. Lots of changes in the neighborhood of late. Fun to watch. Edited February 26, 2020 by Chic Aeon adding info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chic Aeon Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Working on my upstairs office yesterday and added a FLF fireplace wall from LISP this morning. I think I am done there. :D. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I realized I hadn't posted my "Baby Box" home, which is a skybox I put together when I got my Zooby Baby (aka Ellie, aka The Edritch Horror). My husband is appalled by all things animesh that are humanoid, so this was our compromise. First, the bedroom and the bathroom. Since I'm on group land I decided land impact was not a thing, so I have both a shower and a bathtub in the bathroom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Next are the laundry room and kitchen. Both are from Dench Designs, and both give me an unholy amount of joy, in large part because of both the items they can rezz, and the animations. No, I don't iron in real life. That's why God gave us dryers. And yes, I'm snacking on the floor. Don't judge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay McDowwll Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Finally, we have the "living room," which is actually the baby room, and then we have The Infant in question. She's... terrifyingly cute, and yes, I totally coordinate our outfits on purpose. I actually make sure to do all her things (bath, diaper, love, and food) for her every day, and it's weirdly satisfying. She's the reason this skybox got done up as much as it did. All the original furnishings and finishes are gone; the texturing and tinting was all my own. This was the first place I truly personalized, it's also what made me insistent on bathrooms and kitchens in Second Life when I had previously eschewed them strenusouly under the banner of "I HAVE ENOUGH OF THIS IN RL!!!" I wouldn't have it any other way, and I owe it all to a small, pixelated infant. I regret nothing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Little Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I like that I found that Xenosaur place, thanks to Chic. Yesterday I made a pool. No one complained yet. I made sure my ground go all out to the edge. The natural rock edge is made by region owner. It is not deep. Waist deep. Deep enough to float around in. But it is pretty to look at. Lower draw distance to under 120, and most of the items in view disappear. They don't look so bad, after some derendering. I still haven't finished the second floor. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it struck me, I have much more land until the edge. What about... and a pool it was. The stairs are perfect as stairs down in the pool. Next time I think I make a Japanese zen garden. I am using so much small romantic flowers in Bellisseria. Need a change. Edited March 5, 2020 by Marianne Little 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
